I gather business leaders and other stakeholders who are united by a shared vision of an ocean free of plastic waste. Let me help you to define and implement more sustainable ways of producing and distributing goods.

I believe in the power of innovation and entrepreneurship to address complex environmental
challenges. With Searious Business, my primary focus will be on sourcing solutions for the plastic pollution going on in our oceans right now.

Searious Business stands out by using disruptive innovation at the intersection of technology, sustainability and social change. I am passionate about improving effectiveness of profit
organizations as agents of change.

Among my clients:

My major partners:

Positive impact on three levels

International

Set up an Ocean Platform with a Framework for Action. Involve more businesses, start new initiatives with a set time frame, collaborate NGO's, research facilities
and governments.

National

Set up innovative projects and get results. As a project leader, I connect people, gather funding and whatever else is needed to scale it up or make an
application more mainstream.

Regional

Initiate inspirational projects in a number of municipalities. Gather businesses and other stakeholders for a new approach in re-designing and recycling of
plastics, locally.

The three
levels I work on, each have their own challenges. But above all, they provide me with a means to interlink and collaborate on a scale and scope I think is necessary to make a
difference.
